1. What are probiotics?
They inhibit the growth of bacteria, antigens, toxins, thereby reducing the potentially harmful effects on the body. The mucous membrane that coats the digestive tract is the first line of defense against pathogenic invasion. Probiotics are living cultures of bacteria that, given in a certain amount (WHO, FAO), have a positive effect on the health of the household, in particular the microbiological balance. They respond to the innate and acquired immune system, additionally improving the functioning of its immune barrier by local response.2. Translate this page to Switch Polish: Switch
They are also available as pharmaceutical preparations in capsules or sauces. The shelf life of most probiotic preparations is 36 weeks when stored at low temperatures. Probiotic bacteria are found in fermented dairy products, sourdough products, vegetable juices, soured cabbage, sour cucumbers. The two main commercially used species are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. However, dried (liophilized) supplements can be stored for up to 12 months, and the level of bacteria during storage can decrease.3. How do probiotics support the immune system?
A large study of 465 active adults showed that taking a probiotic supplement for 5 months reduced the risk of URTI. The latest review published in 2015 showed that probiotics for placebo reduced the incidence of URTi by 47%, and that the average duration of the disease was 2 days (Hao et al. 2015). They showed a link to immune response activity, including increased activity of monocytosis cells, decreased body mass, increased cell health, and increased production of cytokines. In the case of patients suffering from the same disease, supplements containing antibacterial antibodies (Blood and albacterium, 2014), which may have a significant effect on the body's immune system, or if they have been studied for the same number of days, they may reduce the effectiveness of antibiotic supplements.4. The effect of probiotics on the digestive system
It is recommended that redistribution of blood flow from the kidneys to the active tissues (muscles) occurs during high-intensity exercise. Supplementation with probiotics in combination with dietary strategies may help those who are active with gastrointestinal discomfort during exercise. Food disorders (GI) during exercise by 3050% of athletes. Gastrointestinal symptoms include pain, GI reflux, inflammation of the gastrocnemius, gastroesophageal reflux disorder, and other side effects.5. Practical advice on the use of probiotic supplements
Studies conducted by the Australian Institute of Sport have shown that most athletes tolerate a dose of 3550 billion bacteria from commercial products. Probiotics should be taken with food, the ideal time of day is in the morning. In the first few weeks of supplementation, gradual changes in gut microflora may cause some people to experience symptoms from the digestive tract. Most studies suggest the effectiveness of probiotic supplementation in 1010 billion bacteria.
